50You do not see that it is in your interest for one man to be put to death for the people, so that all the nation may not come to destruction.
51He did not say this of himself, but being the high priest that year he said, as a prophet, that Jesus would be put to death for the nation;
52And not for that nation only, but for the purpose of uniting in one body the children of God all over the world.
53And from that day they took thought together how to put him to death.
54So Jesus no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but went from there into the country near to the waste land, to a town named Ephraim, where he was for some time with the disciples.
55Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and numbers of people went up from the country to Jerusalem to make themselves clean before the Passover.
56They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another while they were in the Temple, What is your opinion? Will he not come to the feast?
